Speaking of toxic miasma... :) (work on the Breathless hack continues!)
A page spread from Requiem for the Wretched Dead, depicting the Miasma.

Text reads: The ubiquitous toxic void-smoke of the deathlands—all that remains of the howling death throes of the souls consumed by the arcane cataclysm that broke the world.
Deathlanders must remain alert to its malevolent presence, relying on portable lightning barrriers or emergency plasm-flares for defense when it strikes.

Threats (bullet list):
At a distance:
1. Obscures vision, dampens hearing. You fail to notice what’s happening or lose track of where you are.
2. Senses you. Moves to nearby.

Nearby:
1. Fouls gear, erodes materials. An item is badly damaged—mark 1 usage.
2. Closes in. Moves to close contact.

In close contact:
1. Fully envelops you. Mark 1 usage on all your items and suffer Harm. If you can’t escape it, face the next threat.
2. Finds a gap in your mask or exposure suit. You start choking uncontrollably as it gets into your mouth and nose. Suffer Harm. If you can’t escape it or get immediate aid, suffer Harm again and face the next threat.
3. Fills your lungs, snakes into your ears and eyes. You succumb fully to the miasma and perish. See Wretch on page xx.
